Re: GNULib Module nanosleep Breaks CVS Build On Windows

Incidentally, Conrad informed me a few moments ago that there isn't a
usleep on Windows - CVS had a replacement usleep tucked away in its
Windows directory which used a native "Sleep()" function that would
sleep at millisecond resolution.  Since the Windows select() function
available via <winsock.h> has microsecond resolution, that is probably
preferable.
